(www.rogoshandymanservice.com)I have been in this career field (construction) since I was 13 years old working for a Retired Marine who was a home builder...and my best friends father.

I feel like if you don't evaluate the property within a few days and make an offer you've lost it; especially the homepath properties.I was talking with my father's fiance who is a real estate agent for Caldwell Banker and she was saying that they are waiting until after Easter when the snow is melted to start listing some of their portfolio, although she sells in a higher price point market where homes go for between $700,000 and $1,500,000.  

Also, don't your father's experiences deter you from trying different investment strategies.  

Sorry for the extremely long post, hopefully you made it this far :-)One financing option is to partner with my father (turning 62yrs old this year) for this first project.

Hi all,My father and I are planning on partnering to buy some rental properties in the US.

I'm a stay at home father of 2 boys.

I don't know, go ask you father/mother!""

I have a Father that has been doing RE since I was a toddler.  

I have tremendous respect for our military brothers and sisters (and mothers and fathers and grandparents). :)Best of luck to you with everything.

I am a new partner with my father who is a veteran in the game.
